| Re: dime tour A dime is an American coin, worth ten cents, so it is not worth much. The term is used to describe when you show someone around a place. For example, you might give someone a 'dime tour' of your new house. It's not really a tour, hence the use of 'dime' to imply that it is not much of a tour. masterding likes this. |
